Basically the same as what is inside the kuih bongkol, minus the smokey banana leaf flavor. (Most of the traditional Sarawakian kuih use apong instead of gula malacca. It's less sweet.)

We used to enjoy tako until doubt seeps in on whether the jelly is made using halal-certified sources or not. We have abstained from buying anything that has jelly, and fish balls/cakes too (e.g. fried mee, beehoon, kuay teow, char kuay teow etc) unless we are completely certain of its source. I would ask the seller what type/brand of jelly or fish balls/cakes they use. I was surprised that most sellers dont care or dont think the use of Halal-certified product is of utmost importance, despite, being in Malaysia, having the choice to do so.
